Bokor Monday, February 15, 2016 Folks, it is true that “times are rough” throughout the world as governments find it difficult to provide the “heaven-on-earth” that the citizens need to live their lives in decency and comfort. Nowhere cool in the world!! Within this context, it is difficult to side with Ghanaian politicians who are constantly ...

By Dr. Michael J.K. Bokor Thursday, February 11, 2016 Folks, we have said a lot already about the threat posed to national security by the activities of the Fulani nomadic herdsmen that are being fiercely resisted by Ghanaians in the affected areas all over the country.

Bokor Saturday, January 23, 2016 My good friends, I have been brooding over many issues, especially the problems that caused the recent street demonstration by organized labour and their withdrawal of services just because they couldn’t strike any deal with the government regarding their conditions of service and many others that negatively influence human existence in ...
